Hey everyone, If you’ve been following me on social media, you may have noticed that I’ve been working on another cookbook. Well, the campaign for it launched this morning, so I wanted to tell you a bit about it. This project is a little different from my past cookbooks, for a few reasons: 1. It’s…

So – It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a blog entry! A LOT has happened – we packed up and sold our house in Minneapolis, got everything onto two shipping containers, and moved to Canada. Shortly before we sold the house, we moved into a small, 27′ motor home, and that’s been “home”…

We’re quickly coming up on the “Two Months Before We Move” date, and it’s so exciting! I have my Google Calendar all colour coded (Daily chores, appointments, events, etc), and it’s thrilling to see more and more purple – move related tasks – coming up on the calendar. This has been SO long planning, it’s…

A few weeks ago, a thread on a Facebook group – I don’t even remember what it was about – ended up drifting to the point where I learned something interesting: Crab Rangoon Pizza is a THING. I’d never heard of it, and had never considered the possibility, but all of a sudden I NEEDED…

The brain can be a funny thing some time. I’ve been craving moi-moi for over a week now, ever since seeing Black Panther (One of the best movies I’ve ever seen, Shuri is EVERYTHING, I will spare you a page full of raving!). The movie never made mention of moi-moi, btw. I don’t think it…

This weekend, I’m finally getting around to doing belated American Thanksgiving. We’d actually taken a trip up to Winnipeg a couple weeks ago, so didn’t do anything really Thanksgiving-y at the time. As with any time I roast a turkey, part of the grocery planning involves what do to with the leftovers – and that…

As with many of the cookies in my gluten-free cookbooks (“Beyond Flour”, “Beyond Flour 2”, and “More Than Poutine”, which are available for purchase HERE), these are another example of a recipe that is actually better done as a gluten-free cookie, than the source material. As many GF flours have more flavour than regular/all-purpose flour,…

Hey everyone, So, I’ve been dealing with a … uh, fun… hand dealt to me, and I guess it’s time to let you all know about it, as it could possibly affect you – especially at this time of year. Almost *immediately* after my latest book – More Than Poutine – was released, the printer…

Yesterday marked the official release date of my latest cookbook, “More Than Poutine: Favourite Foods from My Home and Native Land”! Maybe it’s that I’m a Canadian living away from home – during troubling times! – maybe it’s that I love a challenge… but I am especially proud of this book. It’s definitely my favourite…

As you may know from previous blog entries – and social media posts! – we recently attended Folklorama, in Winnipeg. It’s my absolute favourite event every year, and has been kind of … therapeutic?… since moving to the USA. Anyway, I’m planning to do a write up on it eventually, but in the meantime, back…
